The College of Arts and Sciences is not currently accepting applications for 2019 A&S Internship Grants. When grants are available they will be made possible with funds from the UK Women and Philanthropy Network. These grants support undergraduate and graduate students in the humanities and social sciences who wish to pursue internships in the non-profit and government sectors during the 2019 summer. These funds will help defray the out-of-pocket travel costs and living expenses while students participate in internships. Students may request stipends of up to $5000 by completing an application; providing a budget and a letter of reference from faculty; and submitting a 500-word essay detailing a rationale for the grant. See application form and instructions here. Seniors who apply must be returning for the fall semester. Students from the sciences are ineligible. When feasible, priority is given to first-generation students. The deadline to apply is March 30, 2019, and receipt of grant is contingent on formal letter of acceptance for internship by May 1, 2019. For more information, please contact Dr. Anna Bosch bosch@uky.edu.

Sigma Tau Delta, the National Honors Society for students of English, offers its members many opportunities to compete for scholarships that support study abroad, summer study, tuition and graduate programs. They also offer support for summer internships, including a chance to intern at Penguin Books in New York City for the summer. Many UK students have competed and won support from Sigma Tau Delta. To be eligible, students must be dues-paying members. For more information, contact the faculty sponsor, Pearl James, pearl.james@uky.edu.
